I had this drawing in my possession several years ago and it has stuck in my mind since, so when I had the chance to buy it back, I did not hesitate. It seems to me it was a chance stain that turned this graphite drawing of the features of a face into what seems like a face on the moon. Perhaps I'm wrong and the drawing was made after the discoloration, though I don’t think so—in either case it's a perfect marriage. And with the drawing pasted to a second piece of paper with a punched edge, as if to be able to hold it in a binder--which I think has an excellent formal effect. There is a handwritten school language/spelling exercise on the reverse, too--bearing a poetic combination of words, each repeated many times over.
10" x 7 7/8" overall and in perfect as found condition.
